✦ Synopsis

<Can love still thrive in the uncertainty of war?
Summer 1943, Bude, Cornwall
Alice,18, receives a mysterious war work summons to report to a special unit in Bude, a popular seaside resort in North Cornwall, but she’s not allowed to discuss it. Terrified but excited, she launches herself into training for the most important job she’s ever had.
Meanwhile, Penny ‘Pickles’ – a land girl from the farm – also goes to Bude with Alice to work at a dairy. Dreaming of finding love but terminally shy, can Penny pluck up the confidence to speak to a charming local fisherman and possibly find what she’s most looking for?
Evelyn, a young widow who runs the boarding house where Alice and Penny are staying, has her hands full with a small child to care for and a tearaway younger sister. When two American troops are billeted in her house, Evelyn is frustrated and butts heads with one of them, but it isn’t long before sparks begin to fly…
Can love thrive for the Cornish Girls, even amidst the uncertainty of war?...M.F
